DUPLEX CONNECTOR STRUCTURALLY CONFIGURED TO COUPLE WITH ANOTHER DUPLEX CONNECTOR TO ENHANCE INSTALLATION AND CABLE MANAGEMENT

Abstract: a duplex fiber optic connector may have a body portion with a cable holding portion. a connector coupling portion may couple the body portion with a body portion of a second same duplex fiber optic connector to provide a quad fiber optic connector. the cable holding portion may include a first cable holding portion a second cable holding portion that respectively hold first and second fiber optic cables. the first cable holding portion and the second cable holding portion may define a top wall portion of the body portion and a bottom wall portion of the body portion. the connector coupling portion may couple the body portion such that the bottom wall portion faces a bottom wall portion of the second same duplex connector and the second same duplex connector is prevented from being separated from the body portion in a direction away from the bottom wall portion so as to enhance installation and cable management.
